Given that the Foo Fighters released a double-album comprised of one electric record and one acoustic album, it's no surprise that they performed several acoustic concerts on its supporting tour. One of these, a stop at the Pantages Theater in Los Angeles, is documented on the 2006 live album Skin and Bones album, which culls 15 highlights from the show. Although the Foo Fighters are performing on acoustics and are buttressed by such guest musicians as Petra Haden and Dave Grohl's former Nirvana running partner Pat Smear, the band doesn't sound radically different here, nor do they reinvent their material: they merely play their music, culled largely from the last album plus the hits, with the skill of professionals and the heart of true believers, which makes this an engaging show if not necessarily a truly compelling one. Part of the problem is that the production is too crisp and clean, which only accentuates the group's seamless performances: there may be grit in Grohl's voice, but not in how it's recorded. This isn't a deal-breaker, but it makes an album that could have been special into one that is merely good. One for the fans, then.
You know what the problem is with seeing Foo Fighters at a small, intimate venue? Everything is pretty much downhill from there. (Although if that's the least of my worries, I'll take it.)To warm up for their opening support slot for The Police at Dodger Stadium on Saturday, June 23rd, the Foo Fighters decided to hold a secret gig at a Tarzana bar/club on Thursday, June 21st. So there were 2 wa...

I'm sick and FUCKING tired of the RI FUCKING AA.Ok, now that that's out of my system...This is getting ridiculous. I can't guitar tab online. Anywhere.I just bought the Foo Fighters Skin and Bones concert DVD. And, I just can't help wishing that I could play guitar like Dave Grohl. So, throughout the little intro to the concert, and the very first song they play, Dave is playing the main li...

Ok, got it, just dropped it on my ipod so now I'm goin for a ride to see if this was even worth the time. I already figure it wouldn't have been worth the money.

I really though this song was cool. Then I heard the real version, and was completely blown the fuck away.

Dave Grohl is known as being one of the nicest and coolest dudes in the music business. So when he and the rest of his band the Foo Fighters start sending out press releases denouncing the McCain camp you know the nice guy's pissssssed off!After hearing that McCain had been using the Foos song "My Hero" at campaign rallies without the consent of the band, its management, label or publishers, th...

One of the most satisfying parts of my transformation from miserable office drone to super happy music blogger has been taking the time to thank all of the people who encouraged me along the way. People like Bob Ross.I am not sure if Bob has much of a following out side of midwest or not, but he was HUGE in my house. During my summer vacations i would veg out and watch PBS all day long...and i ...

I thought I would jump on the band wagon of the FOO, I gave them a try years ago and never liked them, so I tried an album I never heard of, and I fell in love with Dave Grohl I knew back in the 90's. I listened to the whole album 3 times today, so I'd say I'm hooked, please don't stone me and ridicule me for holding out so long!!!Hope you enjoy this tune, I loved it!

He's a musician -- so it's MOG appropriate. I've always thought this, but I watched his SAG interview last night and have since decided that if I could sit down and swap stories over a 12-pack with one 'celebrity', it would definitely be him. Just a stellar, stellar dude.

One of the most overused aphorisms of our political culture is the old George Santayana quote "those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." Still, someone might want to whisper it in the McCain campaign's collective ear, since it has yet again been smacked down by an artist whose music it tried to co-opt. First it was John Mellencamp, then Heart and ABBA and Jackson Brown...
